Despite
a price tag of £5.99 per 3oz, Selfridges – the only UK stockist – has
sold its entire stock of several hundred bars within 48 hours.

The department store has ordered more supplies for its four outlets, to be sold in time for the christmas period.

The
American manufacturer Vosges Haut-Chocolat, based in Chicago,
encourages first-time buyers to "engage your five senses … let the lust
of salt and sweet coat your tongue".

Ewan Venters, food and
restaurant director at Selfridges, said: "Bacon and chocolate sounds
like a strange combination, but the execution is fantastic. It's a real
explosion of flavours and people love it.

Venters was then beaten nearly to death by several enraged Muslims for mentioning the racist word "explosion."
